My suggestion: get your money back and use other software.
I made an arrangement with Turbo Tax in September that if their software had the same issues as last year that I get a full refund, even if past 60 days. They honored that but only after trying to talk me into using the online version (which is restricted to one user so I cannot use for other family members). The tech support person was wonderful and in the discussion she disclosed that the software engineers cannot solve the problem. The get it solved on one computer/display driver only to have it crop up on other platforms. "It's like whack-a-mole". This display issue apparently occurs only on a minority of installations (I'm not sure I believe this) and if true then it isn't a priority for the engineering team.
Note, that activation is only the first place this problem shows up. During use, you won't be able to read other pop-ups like help/info boxes and you won't be able to file state taxes.
I recommend getting your money back and moving on.
